The Alpina has the same issue...

but the lack of runflat tires, the lighter motor and the more compliant suspension all work in harmony to reduce the chance of it being damaged. An Alpina will need a bigger badder pothole or bridge join to generate the forces required to distort the frame and suffer the same damage as a Z8.

The black portions in the front look like the are energy absorbing in a crash - probably also part of the recent EU pedestrian protection laws. Looks like the front "clip" is somewhat easily replaced. Beautiful...now if they can just reduce the weight.
